Last week, a second state court ruled that towns can essentially ban the natural gas extraction method of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. And after nearly five years of trying to come up with the regulations to allow fracking, the state just said there was still no timetable for a decision.

This is one reason pro fracking landowners in Sullivan and Delaware Counties are presenting the pro-fracking film, “FrackNation” 7 p.m. Wednesday at Sullivan West High School in Lake Huntington - to reverse the tide of negative news about fracking.

“Up until now the antis had all the emotion and all the good stories. It’s all based on nothing, no science,” says “FrackNation” film maker Phelim McAleer, who will appear at the screening and whose film sets out to debunk the anti fracking film, “Gasland.” “Our film shows the facts, the truth.”

Of course, when it comes to fracking, “the facts” and “the truth” depend on who’s talking. Folks on both sides of the issue look at the same information and say fracking - which uses a mixtures of sand, water and chemicals to fracture underground gas rich shale - is either safe or harmful to the environment.

For McAleer, a Northern Ireland filmmaker who made the film about “global warming hysteria” “Not Evil Just Wrong,” the truth means this:

“There is no evidence that the fracking process itself contaminates the water.”

As for the methane gas that famously ignited water flowing from faucets in “Gasland?”
